James Marsters has said in an interview that, when Joss Whedon let him know that Spike was gonna fall in love with Buffy in season five, he had assumed it would be one-sided - only for Whedon to correct him with a “Oh no, she’s gonna fall in love with you too.”

This is perfect!!! I loved Who's the Boss and this makes me want to rewarch it!

I started Who's the Boss from the beginning again and one of my favorite things that they do with Tony and Angela is when they are with other people romantically, and it doesn't work out the way they hoped, but the next time they interact with each other there's a parallel when you see that the same situation is perfect for them when it didn't work with other people.

Like the ep when Angela gets back together with her ex, and he moves in and fires Tony (without Angela knowing and when she finds out from Tony, that's a whole other loaded scene I could wax poetic about), but after Tony movies out, Angela realizes that her and her former ex don't really have anything to talk about, and he gets annoyed when she's doing work on Saturday and she gets riled up about a work voicemail, and Michael basically says her job doesn't matter to him and they have a fight and he goes for a walk. When Tony comes over for a visit, him and Angela talk and it feels so easy how they fall into conversation, and Angela says work is frustrating so he asks her why and she tells him about what's going on and he talks through it with her and encourages her, and she says, "It's so good to know someone cares." He's like "What? Michael cares." and she's like "Yes, but it's my career he doesn't give a crap about."

And then there's the ep where they all go to Mrs. Rossini's for Thanksgiving and all of Tony's friends and family from the old neighborhood in Brooklyn are there, including a woman who Mrs. Rossini is eager to re-introduce Tony to. And she turns out to be this kind of old fashioned type of woman who likes to do things for her boyfriend like the cooking and cleaning, and tells him not to help, and he kind of likes it, which is appalling to Angela bc it seems so sexist. But anyway, Tony and this woman have dinner together that she made and she starts cleaning up and he's like "oh let me help" and she's like "no, i want to do it." so then he says "I'll make the dessert." and she's like, "It's already made. Go sit down and I'll bring it out," and then he picks up an egg and makes believe he's going to throw it at her but she is more annoyed than anything. and then he gives it to her and smashes her hands together so that it breaks and she just gets like really mad and it's a callback to the beginning of the episode when he was cooking dessert for Thanksgiving and Angela was "helping" him, and she accidentally broke an egg in his hand, so the next time he'd asked her for an egg, he smashed her hands together to break the egg and she squealed and chased him across the kitchen and he picked up a chair to use as a shield, and they laughed about it together. Then at the end of the ep Tony comes home and Angela is still up and he says he broke things off with the woman because he realized that he thought that was what he wanted but in reality he didn't. That what he wanted was just someone he could talk to and kid around with. Like bro, she's right in front of you.

Contrary to popular belief, abandoned WIPs are crucial to the writer ecosystem, as they become the fertile soil from which completed works grow. Without them, the landscape would be sterile and barren

I love when trauma makes characters messy. I love when characters don't know how to show love. I love when they lash out. I love when they're vile and break down. I love characters who aren't perfect victims. I love when stories don't excuse behaviour but allow you to understand it

*pulls up to the fanfic drive-thru window* uh yeah, i’ll take a fake relationship with a side of mutual pining and thinking the other isn’t interested, thanks

Me? I work for a living. So that makes you one of two things in my world: either the guy who makes my life easier, or the guy who makes my life harder. And trust me, you do not want to be the guy who makes my life harder.

I love how the Featheringtons are like a Cinderella AU where the mother has good intentions and is very well meaning and the other two sisters are simply stupid 😂

Across six seasons, The Americans strikes such a great balance between "the characters change and grow" and "the characters stay true to the character promises that were laid down in the very first episode"

I struggled to phrase that second one because 'character promise' is so vague. What I mean is that the pilot episode tells you: "this is what Elizabeth cares about, these are her limitations and blind spots", and for the rest of the show is the wellspring from which her pain and sorrow and joy are faithfully drawn.

The show squeezes a surprising amount of drama out of two relatively static core characters. And of course, when one of them finally acts out of pattern, it's incredibly powerful because the turn is backed up by seventy episodes of pattern-consistency.

The irony of Stan confiding in Philip he’s having an affair while regular old homeowner travel agent and KGB agent Philip Jennings has to fake his shock while pretending that doesn’t constitute 50% of his actual work-life balance.
